That line, I have stretched it in every direction, and I have probed into many potentialities and variations… I learnt a lot from it because a line is not just a line: it is a whole story. It might even be the story of Mankind. The Aborigines in Australia believe that a line can reveal the history of the world’s creation. They also use the same word to refer to a line or to a territory. A line always makes me think of Lucretius’s clinamen. According to Epicure and his followers, the creation of the world stems from the slight swerve of atoms in their apparently vertical fall, they knock together, giving birth to the real world. To put it in a nutshell, a line generates reality. It is a very interesting aesthetic tool because you can transform a curve into a straight line by stretching it endlessly. It is a game I have enjoyed playing at, up to these days. Curvaceous lines also reveal the story of the Baroque movement in Western civilizations. They also speak volumes.
